I see Tinsley being Martin's Kidd (Tinsley is a very good passer, but other people on the Cavs can pick up the scoring slack) and Martin hopefully becoming the old Kenyon. Admittedly, they'll be probably caught in many Denver stripclubs, but from a basketball standpoint, I believe this would be incentive for the King to stay. Mo Williams can move to SG. They also get rid of Ben Wallace. Indiana- gets a relatively young PF to fill their hole that can also act as an expiring contract. The pacers also get rid of Tinsley, whom the organization hates. Denver- They get rid of Kenyon Martin in addition to around 7 million in bad contracts. They get an expiring contract in Snow and get the bad contract of Big Ben for two years rather than the equally disgusting Kenyon Martin contract for three years. With the amount of salary cap coming off in the next two years, the nuggets could even make a splash in the 2010 bidding wars and land perhaps another player from the class of 2003 to pair with Melo. Technically, this all assumes that Varejao will give his permission to go thru with this trade. Assuming that will happen, is this trade fair and reasonable to all sides? In addition, this trade would help Denver give more playing time to Linas Kleiza for further development. There are shorter SG, EG Jason Terry In addition, Kenyon Martin does have bad knees, but he id starting to play well again. He thrives with a good passing PG, as we saw with him and Kidd years ago. We also saw it when Andre was in Denver as Kenyon's stats went down a lot once Andre left. I think Tinsley can do it. Lastly, Dwayne Wade would never be traded, the Cavs already have good shooters (Boobie, Pavlovic, Szerbiak, Williams, etc.) and the whole point of this trade is to convince King James to stay. If New York is going to suck in 2010 (as it will considering all the crap in their roster), King James might just stay in Cleveland.
